    Simply a wonderful stay. A welcoming, generous, and very friendly staff situated in an ideal location, both close to the bazaar and the Gjirokastër castle. Given how steep the roads are this is very ideal. My boyfriend and I highly recommend this stay. The breakfast was fantastic and the staff were extremely generous and accommodating. We certainly wont hesitate to book this place again when we return to Gjirokastër :)

    We had a very comfortable stay at Old Town Hotel. The is very clean, we have all the amenities. The location easy to find, close to old town walking. In the zone you have everything, restaurants, souvenirs shop. The owner of the house an amazing woman, always ready to help in our requests. We had the most delicious lovely breakfast, with typical albanian products. I recommend 100%. Me together with my husband enjoyed the stay, the fresh air in the terrace of the property.

    A beautiful place to stay in Gjirocaster- think it will be hard to beat anywhere in Albania. The host is outstanding - she is so warm and welcoming and her breakfasts are legendary.

    Staying at the Old Town Hotel was an unforgettable experience that warmed my heart from the moment I arrived. The host was incredibly kind and welcoming, radiating genuine hospitality that made me feel instantly at home. Her gracious demeanor and friendly smile set the tone for what turned out to be a perfect stay. The location couldn’t be more ideal—just over 100 metres from the heart of the old town, offering easy access to Gjirokastër’s charming cobblestone streets, historic architecture, and breathtaking views. My room was spotless, cosy, and thoughtfully arranged, providing both comfort and quiet—a true sanctuary after days of exploring. The attention to detail in the decor gave it an authentic Albanian charm that complemented the town’s rich heritage. Breakfast each morning was a delight, with fresh, flavorful options that left me feeling energized and cared for. It wasn’t just a meal—it felt like a comforting ritual, lovingly prepared and served with warmth. This hotel is more than a place to rest—it's a heartfelt experience. I left with beautiful memories and a deep appreciation for the kindness that makes Albanian hospitality so special. Highly recommended. Views 10/10

    This is a family owned business. We were greeted by the most friendly people who treated us like family. The room was perfectly clean and very well maintained. The breakfast was so good! The cherry home-made jam was divine. We truly could not ask for more. The only thing we regret is staying for just one night.

    Absolutely nothing!

    We were very fortunate to stay in this wonderful little hotel with such a loving personal touch. The moment we arrived Luly was so attentive and made us feel like we were staying at her home. We right away inquire if we could stay a third night, and we did! We had been debating about an extra night in Gjirokaster or Saranda, but when we saw how peaceful Luly's place was we chose to stay there. The beautiful traditional room and bed were very confortable and the linens perfectly pressed. The bathroom is very modern with nice fixtures and great shower. Breakfast is delicious and served in a beautiful setting. Luly was always available with a big smile for whatever we needed. The views of the castle from the terrace, especially during sunset, are stunning! The location could not be better. Steps away from all we wanted to see but gloriously quiet! Old Town Hotel was the best overall stay in our 3 weeks exploring Albania. We would definitely love to come back again!

    It’s an exceptional location to get to now the historic centre. It’s a short walk to the castle and just up the road from the bazar where all the shops and restaurants are. The room was as advertised, very clean and cozy. The parking is on the street, but very safe.
